Starr Commonwealth's Albion, Michigan, location is the organization's main campus. Starr's administrative offices including Human Resources, Finance, Marketing and Development are all centered here. Having grown from 40 acres and a barn to 350 acres with residential units as well as a recreation center, chapel and museum, the Albion campus provides residential services to an average of 200 students a day.
The physical grounds of the Albion campus embody Floyd Starr's tenet that if you give children a place of beauty in which to live, they will want to extend that to their behavior and attitude. With the help of renowned Michigan landscape architects T. Glenn Phillips and Genevieve Gillette, the Albion campus is home to many beautiful specimens of trees, flowering shrubs and outdoor sculpture, as well as a 42 acre lake which is used for boating and fishing activities.
Starr Albion is nestled between Marshall and Albion, Michigan, just one quarter mile off exit 119 on I-94 East.

Substance Abuse
This non-secure program is designed to meet the social, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of boys between the ages of 12–18 years of age who present substance abuse issues in their homes, schools and community. Youth placed in the residential substance abuse program have experienced court involvement, are adjudicated delinquents, and require a higher level of structure and security than most community-based programs can adequately provide. Our community-based substance abuse program provides intensive therapy to address the committing offense, victim therapy, problem solving and substance abuse issues. The primary goal of treatment is to help the youth address issues related to their substance abuse by building upon and redirecting their strengths into constructive behaviors, to learn how to cope successfully with life’s challenges, to be responsible for their actions and to successfully re-enter or remain in their homes, schools and communities.
Starr Commonwealth Substance Abuse Treatment Program offers traditional group, family and individual counseling along with the ability to directly link youth successfully completing the residential phase of treatment with the community-based equivalent upon return to the community.
